Can Asterisk be configured so the paths through it which require the timing accuracy of the real CPU get those, while the rest of the server can be embedded in a scalable VMWare fabric? That kind of allocation strategy is appropriate to the scaling demands: the real servers are typically in linear proportion to the trunks and extensions, while virtual application servers and gateways to other networks/servers/apps scale nonlinearly/unpredictably, so benefit from virtualization. Or is Asterisk too monolithic to cluster at that granularity?
